RUNWAY: Richard Chai Love SS15

Stripes galore! Richard Chai's punk-y take on sportswear was anchored by graphic stripes, from black, blue and white on the first men's look to a monochromatic one with diagonal lines on a pajama-like top. In addition to the graphic stripes, there was also plenty to catch one's eye, like chunky, hiking-inspired boots and transparent layers. The paper-thin transparent layers served two purposes: offering easy dressing on hot days and adding a bit of sex appeal. The play on hard and soft were strongest in the opening looks while tailored pieces showcased talent and ability, they ultiamtely felt out of place in this new graphic world the first few looks had the audience wanting for more.
